Cherokee School Board Will Talk 2013-14 Budget

Cherokee County School Board members will review the final preparations for its tentative fiscal year 2013-14 budget during its work session tonight.

The work session will start at 6 p.m. at the historic Canton High School/School Board Auditorium in Canton. Its regular meeting will follow at 7 p.m. 

The school district's fiscal year runs between July 1 and June 30. District staff originally expected no change in the financial outlook for the upcoming fiscal year.

However, the gross tax digest for 2013 has increased by around 2.8 percent for the district and the district is in the midst of reworking its numbers to see what the increase could mean for its bottom line. 

The board will also consider approving a proposed contract to make renovations to an existing classroom to build a video broadcast room at Sequoyah High School. The project is authorized in the district's five-year facilities plans and the estimated cost of $400,000 is included in its budget.
